Mohandas Gandhi reflects the problems of empire and colonialism in at least two important ways. One of the sets of problems that he reflects is moral while the other is more practical. Morally speaking, colonialism and empire are difficult to do correctly. At least to our modern way of thinking, it is morally wrong for one group of people to dominate another, to rule them, and to refuse to give them the rights they deserve. Gandhi became...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-does-gandhi-reflect-problems-empire-462834Fri, 8 Nov 2013 19:39:45 PSTHow does Gandhi reflect the problems of empire and colonialism and how...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-does-gandhi-reflect-problems-empire-462834

I wish more people would turn to non-violence. It is so much stronger than violence. Violence has unintended consequences and collateral damage that muddy the message. Most people also find it unacceptable, so your message is mixed with that negativity.http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/gandhi-408845Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:44:57 PSTSri Swami Sivananda says of ahimsa that: "The only way to develop...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/gandhi-408845
Sri Swami Sivananda says of ahimsa that: "The only way to develop universal love is by the practice of Ahimsa (non-injury). Ahimsa is refraining from causing pain to any living creature." While there may be a debated application of this precept on the the world's political stage, it surely must be applicable in our cultures and homes, in America perhaps especially, where unprecedented shopping mall and school shootings continue to occur.http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/gandhi-408845#2Sat, 15 Dec 2012 22:36:36 PSTResponding to post #4: I'll concede the point, but I'd like to clarify....http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/gandhi-408845
Responding to post #4: I'll concede the point, but I'd like to clarify. Are you saying that there were no democratic principles involved in the rebellion that led to the founding of the US? I didn't mean to say that all change must be non-violent in order to be successful. I don't think I said that, but instead tried to say that for change to lead to its desired ends, the values of the "end state" must be present in the process of change....http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/gandhi-408845#3Sat, 15 Dec 2012 15:42:43 PSTIf what Post #3 says is true, then why was the United States able to...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/gandhi-408845
If what Post #3 says is true, then why was the United States able to become a democratic country through violent means? There are clearly limits to nonviolence. One important limit to nonviolence in today's world is that it is not likely to change the minds of people who have hardened opinions about one another. For example, what could Palestinians do non-violently against Israel that would result in Israel giving up its settlements and...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/gandhi-408845#4Sat, 15 Dec 2012 15:11:43 PSTA student of Gandhi's principles, Martin Luther King Jr., once said that...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/gandhi-408845
A student of Gandhi's principles, Martin Luther King Jr., once said that darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. And hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. To me, this is the essence of ahimsa and a way to identify the potency of the concept of inspiring change through non-violence. We can also see in King's words a practical idea, relatable to any large scale change. For instance, if a nation's peoples wish...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/gandhi-408845#5Sat, 15 Dec 2012 15:06:58 PSTahimsa meaning non-voilencehttp://www.enotes.com/homework-help/gandhi-408845

I think that your answer to this is to make the fundamental argument that Gandhi sought to raise the moral consciousness of a people. Gandhi fought his "war" in a most unconventional manner. He wanted to achieve a moral transcendence whereby fighting against him would be to fight against moral truth and justice. The opponent in such a battle is already tabbed with the label of being morally inferior. Given Gandhi's circumstances, it was not...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/truth-non-violence-were-weapons-with-which-279645Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:02:05 PST' Truth and non-violence were the weapons with which Gandhiji succeeded...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/truth-non-violence-were-weapons-with-which-279645
